A relaxing sequence especially suited for the menstrual cycle and for dealing with menstrual cramps. During the first days, everything in the body, especially in the abdominal and lower-back areas can feel strained and compressed. We will go through some poses that will help to release this tension and relieve back pain.
For this sequence, we will need a bolster, a chair, and two blankets or towels. You can also add props to suit your needs. The key is to not strain. This is a sequence aimed at relieving tension, not accumulating it through pushing ourselves.
